Marking tasks quickly
How to mark tasks quickly
Use the “Unmarked” buttons at the top of the marking
interface to navigate to the next unmarked student or the next unmarked
question. The arrows allow you to navigate from student to student or question
to question, but this is not as efficient.
The fastest way to mark a task is to mark the same question
for all the students before moving on to the next question. This will reduce
your cognitive load because you will only have to remember one question and one
mark scheme at a time.
Once you have completed the marking for a question, select the up arrow next to the “Submit” button.
Select “Submit & next unmarked student”. This will
navigate to the next student for the same question and change back to the
Answer tab. As this is the same question you should not need to navigate back
to the question tab.
Your submit button will now be configured to always Submit
and navigate to the next student until you change it. There is no need to
select the config arrow again.
Why have we changed the UI?
- Teachers were asking for more
navigation options with a submit button customisation.
- Teachers were asking for a less
cluttered screen.
- Teachers were asking for student
status descriptions instead of status letters.
- Larger questions with code
required too much scrolling. Teachers said they didn’t need to see the
question, feedback, or references on the screen all at the same time.
- The new MARCKS feedback system
used too much screen space resulting in too much scrolling.
We know adapting to a new UI is always awkward at first. In time we hope you will find this approach much easier to use.
